If you dream of the days of high-top sneakers, big shoulder pads and even bigger hair, Anaheim will soon boast a venue to satisfy your 1980s longings.

Decades, an ’80s- and ’90s-themed restaurant and bar, is expected to open in June on the Center Street Promenade in a spot that’s been empty since Primo Bar & Grill closed last fall.

“It was just an era of fun, happy-go-lucky, just have a good time,” restaurateur Randy Carillo said. “Things were kind of simpler and fun back then and there’s a lot of nostalgia and a lot of memories there.”

Carillo helped open Fullerton’s Totally 80s Bar & Grill and a similar venue in Montclair. He plans to deck out Decades with old movie posters, album covers and other memorabilia, and he’ll host karaoke nights as well as original and cover bands of the era on weekend nights.

The lunch and dinner menu will include sandwiches, salads and burgers, with vegetarian and vegan options, Carillo said. After 9 p.m., the restaurant will become a 21-and-over club.

The building has always housed a restaurant, including at least five previous eateries that lasted varying numbers of years, city spokesman Mike Lyster said.

Though there are other places on Center Street to grab a late bite, Decades will bring the first nightlife to the strip, Lyster said.
